OLIVER SPRINGS,Tenn., May 23. While John and Chester Shoopman, cousins, were "playing soldier", a shotgun in the hands of John was discharged, the charge entering his thigh and wounding him so seriously that his condition is critical, as lock jaw is feared. They didn't know the gun was loaded. They were at the home of John, about five miles from Oliver Springs. They were drilling with the guns at the time the shooting occured. John is twenty and his cousin is twenty one. Source: Kingsport Times, Kingsport, Tennessee, 6/25/1916
